Question

The sum of three consecutive integers is 78. what are the three Integers​

Answer 1

25 , 26 and 27

Explanation:

Answer 2

25, 26, and 27 are the three consecutive integers.

Explanation:

Let the numbers be represented as x, x + 1 and x + 2.

We can write the equation:

`x+(x+1)+ (x+2)=78`

Opening the brackets and simplifying:

`x+x+1+x+2=78`

`3x+3=78`

Subtract 3 from both sides.

`3x=75`

Divide both sides by 3.

`x=25`

Since the three consecutive integers are x, x + 1 and x + 2, replace x with 25.

∴ 25, 26 and 27 are the three consecutive integers.
